Cats are not high maintenance pets like dogs. They are far more independent and reserved than dogs. While a dog expresses his happiness by wagging his tail, a cat will purr and rub its side on you with affection. Here are two main criteria on choosing a pet cat—
Gender – neutered vs. unneutered
Unneutered male cats are of a dominant character. They usually fight for their territorial space when outside and mark their territory at home with their scent. While female unneutered cats do the same of marking their territory, but also go through a bad time during heat. Neutered male cats are far tamer, while neutered female cats are totally well behaved.
Origin
If you plan to adopt a pedigree cat, then it’s very important to do research on the background of the cat. There are some pedigree cats that have distinct health defects. So it’s best to consult a vet before picking up a cat. You can pick a cat from the cat shelter. Even when its origin may not be known, you can get it checked by a vet for any health ailments.
